Chapter 147: Counter-Calculation (2)
When he returned to the small courtyard where Sheng Changning lived, Lin Yiran was still white-faced, and at a glance, he saw the lights that had been turned on inside.
And also...... Lixia, who had been with Sheng Changning before, didn't know when he had returned, and he was waiting by the courtyard gate with a cloak at this time, waiting for his master to come back with anticipation.
It's like ...... It's as if a faction saw through the game he laid out, but they put him in the same situation as they planned.
Lin Yiran's face had turned from white to blue, and the corners of his lips were trembling more and more, as if he was a little out of control.
"You, you...... So vicious! ”
Sheng Changning, who got off the soft sedan chair, listened to this, and hooked the corners of his lips unhurriedly and smiled.
"So what?" she said. One more scolding will cut your mouth! ”
Zuo Yan watched and listened to the side, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he caught a glimpse of the person who was tied up with flowers, his eyes were already full of tears, and his expression was even more unconsciously a little cold.
These people, I'm afraid they're some abnormal, right?
………………
In fact, early in the morning, Sheng Changning noticed that something was not quite right, but fortunately, she always liked to be prepared.
The wooden hairpin and bead hairpin worn on the bun looked quite inconsistent, but the bead hairpin was hidden with white powder, which was a good medicine given by the old man when they came out of the dense forest.
It is said that as long as she sprinkles a little, she can dissolve the misty mind of the world, and the wooden hairpin with the bead hairpin is the hidden weapon that interlocks and pulls out the white powder when she tilts her head.
Therefore, when she realized that the incense in the main hall and in the room was not right, she had something to guard against to make sure that she did not lose her mind.
"White dew."
After making such a big deal, although the wine on the banquet was poured into the towel prepared in his sleeve, the wine did not enter his throat, but Sheng Changning still felt tired and dizzy.
"City Lord Zhang, how are they?"
She rubbed her eyebrows and called out in her heart.
Suddenly, the force on her shoulders hit her lightly, and the feeling of comfort made her close her eyes with some comfort.
"They were directly tricked by Lin Yiran, and there was the incense as a haunt, and they were confused for a while, and now they have called Lang Zhong to go, and the people below have already come over and talked back, saying that they will only sleep peacefully for one night."
The speaker's voice was clear and clear, but at this time he deliberately lowered his voice, as if he didn't want to startle the person who was stroking his forehead and closing his eyes.
Sheng Changning knew that it was him when he reached out to rub her shoulders for her, and he didn't even open his eyes when he heard this, but said softly: "Okay, you go and rest too, and you will be on the road early tomorrow morning." ”
Ling Yi knew that she was giving an eviction order, and he didn't shirk it, so he immediately withdrew his hand and bowed slightly.
"No."
……
Ling Yi retreated, and bumped into Lixia who came with a basin of water at the door, and the little girl greeted him with a smile, and was about to pass by him.
The words lingering in his heart had been suffocating for a long time, and Ling Yi turned around and softly called Lixia, who was about to push the door in.
"Ling Yi, what's wrong with you? But what do you want me to convey to the princess? ”
Lixia looked at him with such a stunned look, and couldn't help but take a few steps out, and asked in a low voice.
"Your Highness is very tired, after you serve her to wash, let her rest early." Ling Yi whispered, turned around and left.
"Yes, yes......"
Lixia hurriedly answered, looking at his back as he left in a hurry, he only felt that this Ling Yi was quite strange, as if he had hidden a lot of things in his heart, but he couldn't say anything.
Retracting her gaze, Lixia pushed the door in the basin in her hand and went in, only then did she realize that the candle flame in the inner room had been burning for a long time, and the candle flower made a soft "crackling" sound.
The light had dimmed, and she called softly, "Princess, the slave maid is waiting for you to wash?" ”
There was a soft voice from inside.
Lixia immediately stepped in, she put down the pot bowl in her hand, and wanted to lift the lampshade to brighten the candle flame, but was stopped by Sheng Changning lightly.
"No need, I'll stop later, why bother."
Hearing this, Lixia hurriedly withdrew his hand and dismantled the bun for Sheng Changning, and placed the hairpin and hairpin together.
Sheng Changning picked up the pearl hairpin, in fact, this hairpin was also given by Shen Yue, when he first came to Xunyang City, he was worried about everything.
Whether it is as small as these dresses and hair accessories, the tea she often drinks, or the side that she has never even thought of, he can arrange everything with ideas that ordinary people can't reach.
This bead hairpin is also, if you pluck the bead flower on it, you can see the small space inside, densely covered with a silk-like grid, which is obviously used to charge medicine powder and other good things.
Sheng Changning lowered his eyes, and seeing her come back to his senses, Lixia couldn't help but talk about tonight's events, "Princess, sure enough, no one can predict things like a god like you, let Lady Mo secretly report to Ling Yi, and the left guards can rush over so quickly, otherwise, I really don't know what chaos will happen." ”
"Speaking ......"
Lixia gently combed Sheng Changning's long hair, and at the same time, as if he remembered something, he said straightly: "That Lin Dao...... Lin Yiran is really a powerful character, it is the first time in the life of the slave maid to see such an illusion, which is no different from the reality! But later, after the phantom array broke, Bai Lu also told the slave maid that the dishes on the table were all ordinary peasant dishes......
As Li Xia spoke, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of the sleepy look on Sheng Changning's face from the bronze mirror, and she suddenly remembered what Ling Yi had told her when she was at the door.
Lixia was busily silenced.
The voice of the voice in her ears disappeared abruptly, Sheng Changning woke up from the sleepiness for a moment, and Lixia hurriedly helped her clean her face.
After putting it away, Lixia put down the curtain beside the bed again, she looked at the candle flame that had already condensed many red tears, and remembered the princess's habit of leaving the lamp every night, so she was silent, and was about to bow down.
But he was stopped by Sheng Changning: "Lixia, which guard is on duty tonight?" ”
Since Shen Yue left, Xu was instructed by him that the guards he left behind had to take turns to be on duty every night.
Sheng Changning understood his thoughts, but he was afraid that he would leave by himself, and there would be people in Xunyang City who should not have thoughts.
But what he doesn't know is that those who should come will always come, and the thoughts that should be there will not be broken because of any changes.
After listening to Sheng Changning's question, Lixia hurriedly turned around and replied, "Princess Hui, the left guard is personally on duty tonight, you can rest assured." ”
"It's been a long time tonight, you don't have to sleep outside, let Bai Lu also go back to the side room to rest, just find a little girl to guard."
Although Lixia didn't know why the princess suddenly gave such an order, she still responded vividly, "Yes." ”
